title: [Neomycin versus plus metronidazol for large bowel preparation in elective colon surgery].
abstract: Two series of 50 consecutive elective colonic resections with bowel preparation either with Neomycin (group A) or Neomycin combined with Metronidazole (group B) are presented. 17 bacterial inflammatory complications in group A versus 10 in group B were noted. It is concluded that the addition of an antianaerobic antibiotic agent in elective colonic surgery might be of beneficial effect.
